An Indian Fakir.

Talking Of sleeping men," 7 was
one day on my way to Dholpurn. near
Agra. and when hating to rest our
hores heard casually Of "Jogi' of
some local celebrity who was in ii
neighboring tope of mango trees.
there, standing upright against q pillar
OF rough masOnry, was fakir Like
all these sanity personages, he was ex-
tremely d.rty. His hair, worked up
into rope-ends with grease and dust,
hung nearly to his waist; his body,
stark naked, was painted with a gray
pigment; but to exaggerate the skelc-
tom idea, the ribs, chest bones and
ankles were picked out in yellow
ochre. One eye was wide open over
the other dropped paralized eyelid
The mouth was wide open. and out of
a corner were sproutng .veral blades
Of corn. His hands were clnched and
his nails, | was told, were growing
through the palms of his hands. He
had been, moreover am still only
quot NJ what was said-in the trance"
in which saw him for two months. In
spite of all that have read and heard
about these ecstat Jogis, ventured
to be sccpt cal. But offered an obla-
ton of copper coins at the holy mans
shrine, round which in pious ssemblage
stood quantity Of other offerings in
kind-''little dues of wheat and OIL"
He may have been an impostor, but it
struck me as very dreary form of i'm
position indeed. All alone there. under
the dusty trees. with the shrillng of
the kites in ones ears all day long and
at night tue dismal company of ribald
jackals.- London Society

'offee Better Than Whisky.

The marriage of the daughter of c.
II. Andrews, of Dung town, reminds
me of the action of Norman Andrews,
the father of Messrs. G. III. and w. c..
some sixty or more years ago, as he is
now at the good old age of So. He was
a young farmer in the log cabin region
of Trumbull county. Having and har-
vestng were about TO commence. He
was decided tetotalcr He drank no
spirits and would not furnish it to 9TH
ers. Neighbors told him he could not
get men TO NOW and reap for him. He
resolved to try. Fifty cents day was
the price of labor. A man heard that
Mr.. Andrews wanted to hire. He call
eel. Mr.. Andrews told HIM he could
not furnish him any whisky. Then
can't work for you" Hold on. >" said
Mr.. Andrews. perhaps we can agree.
NO" said the man, Il have ALWAYS
had whisky. and | can't work without
it " Il will give you said Mr. An
drews. "siXty-two and half cents a
DAY ana good coffee and cream 10 drink
in the field as often as you want it. -
IL declare, said the man, that extra
shilling a day and the coffee is a great
temptst on. will try it, anyway"
He went to work and was sat SIZED
"that good coffee was better than whis-
Ky, and the shilling day was a clear
gain of SIX shillngs week" In few
days colored man put in his appear
ance for work. He was famous man
with the scythe and cradle. He accept
ed Mr.. Andrews terms and was salts
fled. The haying and harvesting were
done in good time and good order. no
cradles or scythes were broken. no loads
of hay or grain were upset, and good
example was set in the township

One Cent.

1t is almost impossible to attach any
Importance to one cent; but, at the
same time, it is very important coin
at times. 1t will take circular to
California. and it will make YOU mad
der than a halter and March hare
combined, when you go 10 pay your
fare on a horse-car and find that you
have but four cents and ten-dollar
BILL Then will the wanting cent
seem colossal. Espcc ally when you
see the conductor fold your ten-dollar
bll and stow it carefully in his vest
pocket, and then begin TO deal you out
a lot OF change that looks as though it
had been IN circulation since the revo-
lu.ouary war. One cent is very small
when YOU present il to an organ grind
er's monkey. but when it is added TO
the rate OF interest you receive on n
stock, il possesses stern magnificent
grandeur that carries you away like a
strain Of music. - Troy Press.

THE STATE SCHOOLS,
The Report Shows Them to
be in a Flourishing
Condition.

The annual report of the State
Board of Education and the Super
intendent of Public Instruction, with
accompanying documents for the past
school year are now out. According
to the report the year was one of
marked progress in the schools-most
notable in the improvements made in
the buildings. Fifty new school
houses were erected, but even that
leaves a great lack of accommodations
in all Of the growing towns, to be yet
provided. The Superintendent dwells
especially upon the over crowded con-
dition of the primary departments.
In this respect the superintendent
states that it is a serious question
whether those towns which provide for
less than siXty-five per cent. of their
school population are complying with
the law that requires them to provide
suitable accommodations in order to
be entitled to the State appropriation.
With regard to the disposition of the
reserve fund the report says:
The reserve fund, being ten per cent.
of the total amount of the school tax,
was appointed among the several
counties of the State by the Board. at
a meeting held April Il, 1886, as fol-
lows: Atlantic, So, ,941.90 Bergen, ST.
024 80; Burlington, $6,5S0.90; Camden,
50, GAL 63; Cape May, 50, 1S0. so; Cumber-
land, $4,000 81; Essex, Sc, 657 So; Glou
cester, 81 461 63; Hudson, 500, ,794 81;
Hunterdon. 1852 05; Mercer, SO, 456. so;
Middlesex, So, 77043 Monmouth, $S,-
$40 80; Morris. $277. 90; Ocean, So, ,410 II;
Passaic, 81, ,s53 SO; Salem 1919 "a; Sus-
sex. $70S5.56; Union, $6,477; Warren,
81, 955.72.
The amount expended for public
schools during the year, exclusive of
the expenditures for new buildings and
repairs, is placed at $2,678, 1867, and
the number of school buildings in the
State, togthe date of the report is 1908,
only forty-nine of which are rented
buildings OF the total number 1909
are built of wood, 800 of brick and
eighty-one of stone. OF the 1903
structures only 1S1 are in the incor-
porated cities of the State. The whole
school property is valued at 81, 263, 039.-
90, an increase of $43S, 1890 over the
previous year.
The school census shows a decrease
of 2, 161 children between the ages of
five and eighteen years, from the
census of the previous year, although
there were ,424 more children in at
tendance at the schools. The number
of male teachers is given at S26, and
the female teachers 3,06y.

Capture of Two Thieves.

There was q bitter struggle near the
store of Lorenzo Bateman, in
Wenonah, Gloucester Co., on Monday
night week. Early in the evening two
young men, strangers to Mr.. Bateman,
called at his store and inquired the
price of certain articles, and then left.
Some time after tho proprietor saw
these same men on the street in front
of his store, and noticed that one of
them was trying to smash the glass in
the front door with his fist. He went
out and demanded that they desist,
whereupon they attacked him, one of
the men pointing a revolver at his
head. A struggle ensued, and the
thieves succeeded in throwing Mr..
Bateman to the ground, where one of
the assailants bit a piece out of his
cheek. Mrs. Bateman was q witness
to the struggle between the robbers
and her husband, and she screamed
for help. Her cries soon brought
three neighbors to the scene, who
secured the men aftersharp resistance.
The thieves were taken to Woodbury.,
and committed to Jail to await the ac-
tion of the Grand Jury. They were
strange looking men, and are supposed
to have come from Philada.

Decay of the Prohibition Vote.

A tabulated statement of the Pro
hibition vote in the several States at
the recent election shows some re-
markable figures. In New York the
Prohibition gain was 4 4,459; in Ohio it
was 1,619; in Nebraska it was 1900; in
Massachusetts it was 779-9,357 votes
in all. In Kentucky it fell off 81, ,583
votes; in Iowa, ,405; in New Jersey,
$500; in Pennsylvania, $4,000; in
Maryland, 1898; in the city of Indian
apolis, where the only election in the
State of Indiana was held, it fell off
81. Total loss, IS, 765. Net Prohibit
ton loss, AZ, votes The Indian
apolis journal, in commenting upon
these figures, says:
''It is to be remembered that in most
of these States it was an "off year, "
when freaks and factions and third
parties have the best opportunity to
develop their fullest strength, catch
ing all the disgruntled and dissatisfied.
Those figures tell the story that all
intelligent observers must know to be
true, and that is, that the idea of
treating the important question of
regulating and restricting, and, if you
please, extirpating the liquor traffic
by means of general and uniform pro-
hibitory laws, either constitutional or
statutory, is fast losing ground, and
the great body of intelligent, thought
